Jermuk ("The Warm Mineral Spring" in Armenian) is a mountain spa town in the southern Armenian province of Vayots Dzor, 53 km east of the provincial capital Yeghegnadzor, and 170 km southeast of Yerevan. The town is located at a height of 2,080 meters above sea level, within the mountains of Vayots Dzor, among thick forests, on a plateau divided into two parts by the gorge of Arpa River.

Nowadays, Jermuk is home to many giant factories that produce bottled mineral water. The sparkling water of "Jermuk" is largely exported to markets around the world.

Another key sector in the economy of Jermuk is tourism. The town is home to several high quality health resorts and spas, and it is one of the main touristic destinations for those who visit Armenia.
